Hi guys. I just acquired an old brand new radio shack bumper mount. I am going to put on my bumper on my truck, 06 Z71 ext cab. Does it matter which side you put it on? I know it would be nice to have on right side so when pulling through the drive through fast food, I would not hit the roof tops. Otherwise, is there any reason as to one side or the other? I am either running 19 AM, or 13 or 38 LSB. CB Radio only.
Thanks.

Nope, left roight front or back it makes no difference to the mount. |

Hey Tech237. I did not think it would, but I do value opinions from here. Thank you for the feedback.

Keith, I put my mount on the right to get through the drive throughs also. Ever thought about mounting it a little towards the center to get a little less directional? Has crossed my mind before many times. |

That would make it hard to drop the tailgate. And I certainly do not want to cut the tailgate in 1/2. Only a "KB" would consider that.

Mine is on the right side as well. The directionality being mounted there helps on channel 19 when on the road. Doesn't really seem to affect SSB com's though. I still manage to get out good barefoot.
Mounting on the left side helps to avoid low branches which seems to more of what I hit since I use very few drive-thu's and drive a lot on country roads. I have been thinking about moving it for this reason. |
